No it's not. Why do you think the Gallatin-based (Northwood with extra cache) 3.46ghz P4 EE generally outperforms the Prescott-based 3.73ghz P4 EE?

I mainly go to Xbit and Tech Report for articles. Anandtech used to among the best but lately they have been putting out too many incomplete articles. As for pricing, Pricewatch and Shopping.com search more vendors and Reseller ratings has more vendor opinions than any of the hardware review sites.

this is a sad day for me.....  unfortunatly, i can no longer afford the X800 GTO2....  its has reached prices of $250, which is okay for me, but only at the unknown vendors, is it at that price....  Im going to have to go with an X850 Pro, and deal with that....
